“There are simple universal laws of human life which cannot be violated without paying a painful price.
Every great spiritual, philosophical and religious tradition has emphasised compassion, reconciliation, forgiveness and responsibility.
These are not questions, they are instructions.
If we follow them we will thrive, if not we will suffer.
The socially sanctioned hatred and rage we express towards criminals in modern times violates these timeless instructions.
We are breaking a fundamental spiritual law and the price we are paying for it is increased crime, depravity, hopelessness and, of course, more hatred and rage.”
